Hi all, I'm here visiting Lorry in WA. since Feb. I have my brother in-law checking my mail at home in N.S. for my interview letter

To-day in an email updating me on what mail I have he was saying there is talk of a possible upcoming Postal strike looming in Canada.

Has anyone else in Canada heard anything on this. Don't get much Canadian news issues here in WA.

Thanks Allie

I haven't heard anything about a strike yet.

I just got off the phone with Canada Post! I sent Mel all the signed Tax Info and Notarized copies of my ID, and he hasn't got it yet! It is probably a problem at the Border in my case.

No, they're not on strike at present. The Union is threatening that a mail strike could be a possibility in the future. I was wondering if anyone else heard this in Canada

Huh. Here I thought USPS was bad...

confirmation that you have not lived in Canada.

For a rejection letter to arrive from a Downtown Calgary office to my Calgary home (in Dalhousie) takes FOUR DAYS typically (based on the postmark), SIX days to Edmonton, and TEN to Montreal or Ottawa.

A letter posted from Midtown Atlanta will arrive at Kennesaw (further than the distance from Canyon Meadows to Dalhousie--close to northern and southern extremes of Calgary) in ONE day, and at Washington DC in THREE.

Oh well. As least USPS delivers on Saturdays! :P

Also, USPS will pick up outgoing mail from YOUR mailbox (if house/rural--or pick it up from the drop-tray in apartment-complex mailboxes), which Canada Post has NEVER done since at least 1971.

I have always thought the USPS was super!! canada post, not so much,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

USPS caused us a lot of unnecessary worry :angry: it's all in our timeline

Canada Post is not much better It takes 10 days to get mail from Spokane WA to Sydney N.S. and 13 days on the return voyage lol
